So... who's gonna be the first to come here and post if THAT scene is present or not...? 
The Chase & The Space Museum DVDs: March 1st
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
Oh, ignore me, apparently it is.
The Beatles in The Chase. For years it looked as though that scene would have to edited out (the audio version of Evil of the Daleks had to have a Beatles track cut out) but I believe the rights were cleared a couple of years ago now.
My video tape has the Beatles part intact.
That came out in 1993. The whole Beatles issue was a bit hazy for a long time, which is why the OP posed the question - the weird thing about the VHS release was that Remembrance of the Daleks, the VHS originally released alongside The Chase in the same tin, replaced an original Beatles track with a cover version, even though The Chase was unedited.
Similarly, Evil of the Daleks' audio release had the music changed, and that was released (or re-released, if you count an earlier version) in 2003.
Fortunately all the problems seem to be a thing of the past now.
I think it might have also been easier with The Chase because the clip of the Beatles happened to be from a BBC program, as oppose to Evil of the Daleks and Remembrance of the Daleks which used recordings only. (And other occasions such as the Fleetwood Mac song that had to be replaced on one of the early Pertwees).
Mind you, William Russell has endured some 45 years' worth of ribbing for his "dancing prowess" in that scene, so he'd probably be just as happy to have the whole scene cut!

Just to warn any Region Oners: Steve Roberts at Gallifrey Base has said that the R1 release will have the Beatles clip edited out
I was just going to come in and ask that. FFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
Looks like I'm going to become the proud owner of a third Region 2 dvd.

Crap... does that mean Region 4 will have it removed too? Or just the NTSC countries...?

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the Region 4 (Australia) releases are the same as the Region 2 (UK) releases.
I quite liked The Space Museum. It's not a bad little tale and has a ton of atmosphere.
What are the other two?
The R2 release of the Flash Gordon movie (it had commentaries by the Director, and Brian Blessed). And a concert disk Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds Live.
Need to pick up the DW tv movie at some point.
